Lotus Type 14 Elite 1958 by Spark
The Elite was Lotus' first purpose built, pure road car and was extremely advanced for its time with superb handling due to all independent suspension and featured the world's first fibreglass monocoque chassis, which along with the all aluminium Coventry Climax engine gave very light weight and excellent performance. Spark's model captures the shape of the car very well and the two-tone burgundy and silver paintwork is typical of the finishes on early examples.

About Spark
The range which changed the 1:43 model market and for which we coined the term 'resincast'. Resin rather than traditional diecast bodies mean that relatively short production runs can be made and what might be marginal subjects become viable. Quality is very consistent with plenty of fine etch used where necessary. A huge range is the result, covering all aspects of (mostly postwar) motorsport and a wide variety of road cars. We typically see around 30 new subjects released per month and pre-orders are strongly recommended. Made in China & Madagascar.
